The old tale — The Great Gatsby — has received a new twist.

Literary Hub has an excerpt (preview?) of a graphic-novel adaptation done by Fred Fordham and Aya Morton, for your viewing pleasure.

The new tales come from the New York Times Magazine’s Decameron Project, which is a collection of short stories inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Participating writers include Téa Obreht, Tommy Orange, Edwidge Danticat, Charles Yu, and more.
